noob questions regarding communication

[Sarley]

Like a Snail i´m learning FC3 (SU-27 and MIG-29). But i got question regarding the communication:

 

Question one:

 

in the Radiomeny: ATC-->Nalchik-->Request Azimuth.

I get the reply: Nalchik -ADF, your heading 63.

 

That is not my heading right? it´s the ADF station close to the Airfield?

 

When my wingman say: "Contact bearing 63 for 70"

 

What does that mean? does it mean the contact is 063 degrees and going to 070 degrees?

 

Regarding AWACS

 

I have never get any reply that there are enemy in the sky from an AWACs when i´m requesting "bogey Dope" I always get "Clean".

 

But I can see enemy on my MFD..is it not Awacs that send out the enemy position to the mfd?

 

Whats the difference between "bogey Dope" and "picture?"

I'll answer this one. 63 degrees, 70 miles

Bogey Dope is a request for a bearing and range to the nearest enemy plane. Strange that it doesn't give you an answer.

That's the heading you would turn to to head towards Nalchik. ADF standing for Automatic Direction Finder which tunes into a non-directional beacon (NDB) near the airport.

I believe picture gives you all the bogeys in the area, not just the closest one.
